    Yes you can. I have a few of them and one of them has the original instructions. The interesting thing on this one is that it said the side with the company name is the "sharper" side. I can't prove it but I think they are all basically the same.

    IMO, the three line became popular with barbers and they asked the traveling salesmen who came to their shops for them. Hence Swaty and other mfgs actually printing "3 Line Razor Hone" on the rocks. I have an American Hone Co marked like that.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
